Jaime Pressly charged with DUI

Actress Jaime Pressly has been charged with driving under the influence following an arrest last month.

The “My Name Is Earl” star’s car was pulled over by police in Santa Monica, California for a suspected traffic violation on January 5 and she was taken into custody after struggling to complete a field sobriety test.

Pressly, who is free on $15,000 bail, has now been hit with two counts of DUI by the Santa Monica City Attorney and she faces up to six months behind bars if convicted, reports TMZ.com.

The charges come after a tough few weeks for Pressly – she filed for divorce from her husband Simran Singh on January 21, days after her arrest, and she has been accused of owing the IRS a total of $637,149 in unpaid taxes.
